Message to All.....We are "THAT" band! It's impossible to put into words the sincere thank you message from the Holmes' Family in Scranton! All of you made this celebration of our Grand Marshall dad, Butch Holmes and his wife Molly of 58 years, the PARTY of a lifetime! I am the oldest of their 10 children and I feel it's my responsibility to get this message of thanks to each and everyone of you. Dad and Mom, their children, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends from near and far continue to everyday express how our event was amazing! This was due to YOUR participation and sharing the time with us in celebration of our heritage... love of the IRISH.......and Love of family! Again, the family is forever grateful for your "OUTSTANDING" musical tradition of pipes and drums! An Irish toast to all of you Till we see you again Always remember to forget The troubles that passed away. But never forget to remember The blessings that come each day. With Love and Thanks, Mary Ellen (Holmes) Cardamone

Thanks to Bill Kelhower and John Anderson for arranging music for the funeral of my mother-in-law, Jane Von Franzke. John provided a beautiful tribute to her...and her Irish heritage, which was something she was so proud of. All the best to all of the members of the Second Street Irish Society Pipes and Drums.
